Can anyone else confirm these bugs I'm seeing?
ROM: 1.1.9.3
Radio: 01.01.10
ExtROM: 1.1.9.104
1. I've got a 1Gb Sandisk MiniSD inside with a ton of WMA files that synced over through Media Center 2005. If I'm playing them through Media Player 10.1, then stop and shut off the device for a while, when I turn back on.. Media Player doesn't remember what song it was at, and doesn't seem to recognize the library/playlist until I reselect it in the Library view. Has anyone else seen this happen?
2. On the Today screen I have a big triangle icon in the title bar that normally means I've registered on a GSM network. With previous Windows Mobile versions, it just shows up when registration is made and then goes away. For me it won't go away.
3. Sending MMS Messages on T-Mobile USA does not work. I have entered all the correct settings that worked with previous versions of MMS composer, but the MMS won't send. Has anyone found a registry edit or something to fix this?
4. MMS composer does not support soft keys. This is an obvious application bug. It looks so stupid having old legacy menus in the new Windows Mobile 5 Inbox application.
5. Connections don't show up in the Connectivity bubble on the title bar icon. I have a T-Mobile USA GPRS connection set up in the connections control panel, but it doesn't show up in the Connectivity bubble unless it's connected. There's a disconnect button when it's connected, but no connect button when not.
6. Skype doesn't launch. I've done a hard reset, and the default installation of Skype does not open at all.
7. Power control panel doesn't support moving between tabs using the Directional Button.
8. No way to set the device to complete power off mode.
9. PhonePad SIP occasionally will not open. SIP reverts back to previously used SIP method.
10. Can't navigate between levels in Media Player 10 Library mode.
I think the first 5 are the most important to me. Please feel free to add other bugs to this list.
Nobody else sees any of these problems?
I figured out #3 and #8.
I'm also seeing occasional phone problems, like not updating the reception level in dead spots and taking much longer to re-register on the network after leaving a dead spot.
Soft resetting takes way too long as well.
can only answer the non-local questions (i'm in the uk)
and havn't tried all you are talking about.
media player does not remember where you were,
skype does work for me,
can turn the unit completely off.
i know that is only 3 from your list, but it is a start.
to turn the device off completly you need to hold the power button down until a message comes on the display then click ok and it will power off. to switch it back on hold the power button down until it comes back on

I had a devil of a time getting MMS to work on TMO USA. Finally someone on HoFo PPC Forum suggested that I use the T-Mobile USA Settings .cab file on Club iMate under Wizard Support, Operator Settings. This did not work the first time but after a hard reset, I installed this .cab first thing and then MMS worked with no more problems so far.
The No Conections thing is my biggest beef with the Wizard as I have several apps that will not initiate a GPRS connection under WM5. Having to start PIE to establish a connection is just plain stupid. They should have put a GPRS button in Connection Manager instead of an Active Sync button. At least you can end a GPRS connection by holding down the End button for about 5 secs.
Hope this helps.
Forget to mention about Softkeys support. I hope what you mention is simply an oversight on the part of the app developer. I hope that as apps get upgraded to WM5 and as new apps get written that developers will pay attention and allow softkey and d-pad access to menus, exit button, etc. I personally hate to have to pull out and fumble with a stylus, especially to do one simple thing on an app that could have provided d-pad support.
wanna to know before buy
how about the camera quality? any chance if anyone kindly post some demo pic taken by Wizard....
Also the CPU performance is that fast? whether Skype in the default installed out of the factory?
ManyTHx
I think that the camera quality is about equivalent to the Treo 650, better than the Jam or Eten 500. But I haven't used it enough to check out all its features.
The CPU performance is adequate with a small number of apps running - not as crisp feeling or nearly as fast as my Samsung i730 which is the fastest PPC I have used to date. However, the battery life is very good - much better than the 730. I think that the KJAM is a nice trade off between performance and battery life.
Skype is included in ROM from the factory. I know nothing about it as I deleted it from the Extended Rom, along with the anti-virus and smart dialer apps.

The second page of my review above has some camera quality and full-resolution examples (towards the bottom).
CPU performance is not as fast as the imate JAM, but the battery life is way better.

Looks like I found a way to fix that problem! Reformatting the MiniSD card and re-syncing with Media Center 2005 seems to have fixed it. Now Media Player 10.1 on my KJAM remembers which track was playing between suspend sessions.
anyone autoreset only his k-jam ?¿?

8. No way to set the device to complete power off mode.
Hold down power button for 4 seconds. It's the first Windows Mobile PDA to do this BTW.......
If I do this, Will I lost all data (as the pop up message say so ? )
thanks
You will lose data if the any applications that are running (that are not designed for WM5) and dont flush their data when they receive notification that the system is about to be powered off. But in general it should be ok.

I have an M3100 (with Orange firmware). I have an O2 monthly contract that I previously used on a Motorola V3i. I'd like to use my O2 SIM on my new PDA.
I have unlocked it using a piece of software that I was told about (yet to donate). But I have unlocked the CID - something to do with firmware - You guys know what I mean I expect.
This has WinMob/PocketPC. How do I or where do I find the firmware for O2 that will allow me to set up O2 setting. I went to www.o2.co.uk/mobileweb and found the pdf for manually setting up but their menu screen didn't look like mine.
ALSO - I would also like to use the wifi connection. My very kind neighbour temporarily disabled her security to check if I could access the internet using a hotspot but it just kept saying unable to connect. I thought that if I could find a hotspot I could just use it. Is this not the case?
Thanks in advance for your help.
S.
Well first off, SIM unlock is all you need. You do not have to replace firmwares to use O2's services. Somewhere (do a search here) here you'll find the O2 operator settings cab file (this is in really simple terms the equivalent of an installation package like you would have on your PC).
With respect to WiFi, turn on your WiFi via the comm manager (you might want to read the manual if you haven't figured this out yet) and then your phone should report any new APs that are broadcasting their SSIDs. (Tip: If the light to the left of the GSM light isn't flashing green, your WiFi is OFF).
Search the Wiki and read the manual a little as it'll save you a lot of trouble and confusion.
Wifi range is very small; it goes very very bad through walls.
In my case the signal is too bad to be used after 10 meters & 1 wall (door in fact)... Trinity (newer) is doing a little better but anyway; give at least a try very close of the accespoint.
It appears also that not every acces point is WM friendly...
Be also sure that your neighbour has beacon enabled, else you will have to setup manualy the SSID of the connection and tick "this is a hidden connexion":
Hi guys/Girls
Hope you can help and point me in the right direction.
I performed a ROM update on my phone earlier today following your extreamly helpful guides.
But now I have a problem the 3G/HSDPA (I dont get any atall), where as normally i would be on HSDPA while sat at my desk in work, now i get a very poor GPRS reception.
I Understand this is something to do with the Radio Version?

I had the same issue because the o2 ROM sets you up just before Windows launches after a ROM update, or hard reset. The stock ROM is network independent so it doesnt do this.
Anyway, go to Start/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connection setup, then just choose UK and O2 respectively.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have tried this, and even downloaded the updated settings (very slowly over GPRS) dosnt seem to have made a differance.
I'm running through Random Radio Versions at the moment trying to find one that works, and provides me with the signal strength i had before. If i find out I will post this info here to help others in the future.
Obviously if someone has already solved this issue please let me know to save me some time
There should be a 3g/GSM switch in the Comm Manager, GSM will be only GPRS and Edge wheras 3g will include 3g and HDSPA. If it isnt there, there is a tweak (either reg edit or a cab file i think), search through the forum and you should find it.

Would this be the same as going into the band settings and configuring them as Auto? Thesrs loads of numbers in here that im not going to even pretend to understand Shed any light on what the UTSM settings should be etc... or should they be left as AUTO?
When setting up a data connection, i only get the option of "Cellular Line (GRPS) and not Cellular Line (GPRS,3G). I assume this is my problem?
Ahhh so confused, I'm on my 3rd Radio version and none of them have made a differamce yet

I am on o2 and everytime I do a rom update I have to switch the 3g on. So that will more than likely be your problem

Without wanting to sound really dumb, or ask a stupid annoying question but how do i do that? My band settings are already set to Auto
Settings tab on Sense, Wireless controls, then you should have a switch that says 3g, in your case it should be off, turn this on. If it isnt there, let us know!

No 3G option, I did have a look for the CAB/Reg tweak, but from looking at it it just changes the band settings from GSM to auto (which mine are already set at) if this is not the case whats the best way of adding this switch?
http://www.ad-grafiska.se/HD2/LEO TWEAKS/Touch X add 3G commmanager.cab
This is from the sense 2.5 tweaks & mods cabs thread, it will add the 3g button. Try and see what happens, if it doesnt work then I will see what settings I have on mine

OK ive installed the CAB (Thanks for linking to it for me was a great help). After restarting my HD2 i now have the option to disable/re-enable 3g.
However (heres the bad news) it was already set to on. Iv switch it off/Back on etc... and i'm still only getting GPRS, with no 3g option under the new connections manager.
The_cool, are you on O2 in the Uk aswell? If you try to set up a new connection can you select Cellular Line (GPRS,3G)? I only get the GPRS option.
What ROM/Radios versions are you using?
If you had the stock O2 rom, flash the radio that came with your phone -
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)
see the radio thread.
radios are independent, I should be surprised if its that.
have you tried the icon your sim card installs? look in start, probably down the bottom , looks like a sim card and called o2 (or whatever sim you have in) and has one option...get settings?

I am from the UK but I am on T mobile, running topix 1.2 and my radio is the one that came with the offical 1.66 rom which is 2.06.51.07
I am abit confused when you say "with no 3g option under the new connections manager." Testing the switch on mine, when it is off, it says 3g as the heading and the text under is says Change to auto mode. When you turn it on, the phone goes offline for a few seconds and the switch now says 3g as a heading and the text under sayin Change to GSM mode. Your switch should be like this with the switch in the on position. Sorry if I am being patronising but I just want to be clear.
When you talk about celluar line, I am assuming you mean when you try to set up a new connection, this is only for data connections, not for making calls. If I am not mistaken, even if that wasnt set up, it wouldnt stop you from having 3G or H reception, you just wouldnt be able to using the data funtions on the phone until that was set up. But looking at mine, if I edit my connection, the 1st page that comes up is Enter a name for the connection and the then Select a modem. That is on Cellular Line (GPRS) which is greyed out and I still get 3g reception.
usually you will get good GPRS reception, 3g/H can be hit or miss. Try reflashing your radio or try a different one.
Try going to Settings, Connections, Advanced Network and then check that Enable HSDPA/HSUPA is showing in the HSDPA/HSUPA tab. The options on mine are Disable, Enable HSDPA Only and Enable HSDPA/HSUPA.

That only enables or disables HSDPA, even if diasabled you would still get 3g reception but i guess its worth a try.
perhaps the local antenna is having problems or other source of local interference?
I have personally noticed in comparing T-mobile and O2 that in most places T-mob have good to great 3G, whereas O2 is iffier on 3G, but faultless 2G.
I just flashed my sister's Diamond/Ignito with the latest official UK O2 diamond rom and now she only gets gsm and no 3g either. What the heck is going on?
Origional SPL installed and phone still has the same problem.
After speaking to O2 Cust Support it seems there are intermittant Network problems due to upgrades they are performing at the moment on their network. However that dosnt explain why my old SE c905 has full HSDPA when my hTC HD2 as 1 bar GSM or no signal atall using the same sim in the same location (and only the amount of time it takes me to swap over a sim in time differance).
Phone is going back today, as I'v only had it a week.

My HD2 is an Australian Telstra version hence with a lot of preloaded links.
1. some of these which I cannot delete, any Ideas?
2. I have downloaded a small app to control bluetooth and wifi as I use them a lot, how do I get this to the sense screen, I am in and out of the car a lot.
3. How can I force opera to use wifi instead of the carrier when I am in wifi range
4. I am about to use the replacement HTC sense app by cookie, is it a modified version and will it blend in with my carriers requirements.
5. lastly for today when the phone is locked and the slide is used to unlock, i notice after many disconnects that the buttons are still active, whats the point of the finger slide, or am i missing some thing, I would like to not accidentally disconnect people when i pull the monster from my pocket.
Thanks guys
I appreciate your help
Hey as far as designating a data connection to a specific program there is a cab you can install called wmlonglife that will accomplish this check out this thread to find out more about it
In regards to number 3, once you're connected to Wifi, your HD2 should just use WiFi for everything that uses the internet rather than your carrier.
This means Opera should automatically use Wifi when connected!
Hey All
Not sure who can help me here, but i am trying to upgarde to 3.2 which i have done with great sucess but every rom i try does not display either the wifi network i am connected to or the 3g network name or speed. It just displays (no service) when in 3G mode and nothing in wifi mode. is there a configuration i need to set or change in the config files??
Am running Acer_A501_1.309.24_EMEA_CUS7 as its the only rom (being the one that came with the device) that shows these notifications.
You'll find this is a common issue, as they port the roms mostly for the A500. Although the stock roms are more or less the same, the devs seem to only have A500's which means they don't/can't test them on an a501. So, they mostly leave that part out.
Sometimes, you can simply modify the "build.prop" file, and near the end, you can place a simple "#" on the line that says "wifi only". Usually I do this before I flash the rom (unzip and modify the system/build.prop using wordpad or notepad), then try the flash. This at the very least, opens the menus for network apn's. Doesn't mean it will activate the internal 3g if they didn't include the associated library files.
I've managed to play around the past day, and actually got signal strength on Revolver version 6. But no APN yet, so I suspect a couple files are missing from the rom.
Roms thay do work with the 501;
Taboonay ver 2.0. Also, after installing, I reboot again, and flash Thor's ver 3.5 kernel. Didn't have much luck with newer versions of both.
Honeyvillian from Richard Tripp. The earlier versions, not the most recent as I haven't tried yet.
Lightspeed,,,, I just didn't like it. Ran a touch wonky. Also have to use a patch for 3g.
can you please tell me how do i use 3g?just put the sim on?and if the tablet is bought from acer is it unblocked?

Well, this will depend if you have an ATT Acer 501. If it is the ATT model, it is locked to ATT network.
Usually you can tell when you start it, and have an ATT data widget. Or you can go to Settings, About Tablet, scroll near the bottom and look for the "Build Number". If it has ATT in it, well, it's a locked tablet.
Example : Acer_A501_4.402.03_PA_ATT or something similar.
Always insert the Sim card, with the tablet OFF. You might damage something if you try inserting it with the tablet on. The instructions specify this.
Normally, the tablet will recognize the Sim card, and by default will use the 3g network.
